From Partition to Pahalgam: What We Refuse to See About Ourselves
After the Pahalgam terror attack, I have seen countless people feel shock at the coldness of this identity determination and murder. But do you think darkness only resides in others?

Error, Not Terror: What Happens When Hindu Men Attack a Mosque?
When the accused are Hindu and the place of worship attacked Muslim, bombs suddenly become ‘gelatin sticks’ and no properties linked to the accused are demolished.

I hope that’s the motive. What I fear is worse-that the author sincerely believe in his views, and that the Editor genuinely thinks that the piece is worthy of publishing.

Op-Ed in India’s leading daily newspaper. Says China's AI integrates Confucian values and American AI has "materialist frameworks" and imagines a utopia where AI is trained on Vedas. To call this mediocrity would be high praise.

Musk’s propaganda can be exposed with the help of a single fact. He claims to be fighting for freedom and truth. Across history, not one person fighting for freedom and truth has demanded that you blindly worship and submit to the person in power.
